Steward Colbert rally:
Looks like they deliberately used a different location to make the comparison harder. Offhand, I'd say there's less than half the numbers here, despite the presence of several famous entertainers, free food, free bussing, union pressure, and free publicity from the media.
Based on these pictures, my guess is that the Beck rally drew about 600,000. The Stewart/Colbert rally probably drew under a third of that.
Honestly..., that looks like less than 10% as much as the Beck Rally, perhaps 5%. It’s only about 1/5th as long as that showing on the Beck Rally left, and Becks also had people on the right under those trees. Look how wide that Beck side on the left is going from the pool all the way under the trees clear over to the other trees.
The Colbert crowd is only a little wider than the pool itself, up on the other end of course.
Colbert should have known better. He looks like an ass-hat clown for doing this. They can’t even provide transportation and get more than 5 to 10% as many people to show up.
Pathetic. It flopped... Call the slaughter-house and get them to drag this carcass out of there. It’s dead and stinking up the place.
Lots of empty grass space there.
Half? It’s MAYBE 10% - it’s not even in the same location!
Today’s photo shows a modest gathering EAST of the Washington Monument, facing east toward the west Capitol steps. This mall is far more narrow, the rows of trees are much closer to each other, and there is barely any room on the outside of the tree rows! (Example: The Smithsonian buildings virtually touch the tree tops on the right side of today’s photo.
The Restoring Honor Rally was held facing west toward the front of the Lincoln Memorial; a vastly larger, more expansive area, with space for hundreds of thousands on the large grass areas outside the tree lines. AND, that entire space was jammed all the way westward along the entire reflecting pool, around the basin of the World War II Memorial, all the way to the Washington Monument.
Comparing these photos is like comparing luscious apples to a bunch of sour grapes!
WHERE is that location??
Actually Less than a Tenth!! Far Less!! Lets be Accurate!!
This was a Rally to Continue the Insanity of Obozo Hussein and it FAILED MISERABLY!
